Find Places to Stay in Gulmarg on Airbnb

Flora and fauna. Love and Respect. These are the words which strike to us whenever we remember Kashmir. This happened only because of Fozia and Siddique. The best hosts ever we have come across. Right from the time we have landed in Srinagar till the time we took the flight from Srinagar, it was beauty all the way. Ladakh House was home away from home and as is as beautiful as the name suggests. Apple orchard, pond rare birds around the home it was truly a Jannat. It made us to take vows that we will come to Kashmir only to stay at Ladakh House otherwise nowhere. December 24 night is the night that we will remember forever. The dinner hosted by Fozia and Siddique was the best ever and it will be best ever. Love and Respect to Fozia and Siddique from Hyderabad. Sumithra and Pavan.

My time in Kashmir and my stay with Fozia and Siddiq is something I will treasure forever. Fozia and Siddiq are truly wonderful people, they are interesting to chat with and are super helpful. If you have the opportunity to have a meal with them don't miss out! Fozia' s food is delicious! Their home is beautiful and warm. The room is perfect, well maintained, clean, well lit and has everything you need. Transportation and groceries are easily available closeby. Do meet Lassa, the Shikarawala. He is a gem of a person and will show you the Dal lake through his eyes which is a special experience. In the extremely difficult times they are going through, the people here have this incredible ability to be warm, honest and kind and to treat people as individuals. The rest of the world has plenty to learn from the people in Kashmir. I highly recommend this home. You don't have to think twice.

My wife and I feel Kashmir has the best scenery in the world. The best people . And the best food. We discovered it also has the best AirBnB in the world - Naivasha We landed up in Srinagar just a week after the phone curfew was lifted. Internet was still unavailable. We called up Fozia just before we landed up in Srinagar. Our itinerary was coming unstuck. We were loving our trip to Kashmir, and we were overstaying everywhere. Fozia , despite not having received our reservation due to the lack of internet, was extremely helpful and accomodative and offered to fit to our changed schedule. We were to check in on Nov 1. A Friday , and a day after the Art 370 abrogation became law. The media would have us believe that this was as potentially an unstable time to travel as any in Kashmir as any. Of course, it has no basis in reality, as safety is dependent on the local people. And in our fortnight of travel in Kashmir, we found the Kashmiris hospitable, extremely helpful as if from a bygone era, and very warm. Seeing women move around alone even late at night only reinforced our sense of security . Coming back to Nov 1.... we planned to leave Kokernag early and travel to Srinagar. We knew Naivasha had a late afternoon check in. As we were wondering what we would do in the 3-4 hours till then, we got Fozia's call, asking when we were coming so that the keys could be arranged to be handed over. When she found we were almost in Srinagar, asked us not to worry and come right over. About the Naivasha room, there's so much to write . But let me leave these wonderful pleasures for you to discover, and not spoil it for you . The attention to detail in Naivasha is beyond all expectation. We carry many memories .. The orchards and garden behind . The many birds attracted by the bird feeders, the proximity to Naseem Bagh and Hazratbal, the early morning hot girdas, lavasas and kulchas from the Kandoor down the road......... Fozia and Siddiq , who we were fortunate to meet during our 3 day stay are a remarkable couple . Talented, knowledgable, warm and so down to earth. We learnt so much from them . Hope you get to stay there on a Friday , like we did. You can do a long walk from Naseem Bagh to Hazratbal and see the varieties of wares and stalls at the Friday Dargah Market . And maybe even do a Shikara ride from one of the ghats there. We try to leave the rooms we stay in as clean as we found them. We failed in Naivasha .

Fozia and Siddique are such wonderful hosts. Proactive, helpful, and happy to chat about kashmir, their life as academics, and traveling the world. Their place was such a nice getaway from the bustle of city life, while being close enough to major points in srinagar like hazratbal and dal lake. My favourite bits were the kitchenette and the home-grown saag (kashmiri 'haaq') which I got to make with the home-grown onions and garlic. They even hooked me up with a local shikarawala (who took me around dal lake) who speaks fluent english, despite not spending a day in school. When I'm next in Srinagar, I have no doubt where I'll be looking to stay. Neither should you!

A short walk from the Hazrat Bal shrine in Srinagar will take you to Fozia’s gorgeous homestay ‘Ladakh House’. If there’s a place you want to turn to for warmth, hospitality, art, great conversations and fresh air--all rolled into one, then this is it. Fozia’s Qazi's home, nestled in an abundant apple orchard overlooking a stunning pyramid peak of the Pir Panjal range, is enough to nourish your mind, body and soul. You’ll soon learn that Fozia is an artist and mathematician of note, who has practically handcrafted her home with every detail chiseled out elegantly. She has a great way of turning small articles of daily use into charming works of art. We sat in her garden reading under the warm June sun, hearing Bulbuls and Mynahs chirping away. On exploring the place, we found splashes of color in nooks and crannies around the house and in her garden: antique chairs colored yellow, blue and red, and hollowed out to place delightful flower pots, abundant summer flowers, paintings. The home itself effuses warmth. You could easily spend days here in a meditative frame simply forgetting the world. You could read, cook, stroll around, chat. Fozia’s husband Siddiq is a historian, political activist and a great conversationalist. We shared a delicious meal with them (garden-fresh salad, mutton curry with apricots and Kashmiri saag) where conversations flowed seamlessly from politics to culture, art and solidarity in Kashmir. Ladakh House is set in a very interesting neighborhood dotted with local bakeries and small shops. We sat by a tandoor in a baker’s den eating thin, large unleavened flat bread called lavasa, along with salted tea. We learned more about Kashmir mingling with the locals than we’d ever known from slanted newspaper reports. Fozia and Siddiq, both truly immersed in the Kashmiri culture, people and landscape, always added value to what we had gathered through our wanderings in and around the city. Fozia’s home is well located with two major intersections just a short walk away, and Naseem Bagh with its famed Chinar trees only seven minutes away. With a well-stocked kitchenette and a small, tidy bathroom, Ladakh House caters to all your creature comforts. You can turn to Fozia and Siddiq who are open to suggestions and fiercely committed to making their homestay continuously better. And if you still want more, you could simply draw a chair out into the apple orchard and take in the many scents of Kashmir.

Beautiful place with Fantabulous Valley view...Lovely people to meet and memories to make...

What an amazing view! The house is stunning and in an amazing location. Tharun, is one of the kindest, most interesting and most generous hosts we’ve ever met. We loved every single moment of our time here, and didn’t want to leave. We walked away with so much joy in our hearts and a sense of calm we haven’t felt in a long time, living in an especially hectic city. The view is incredibly beautiful, hiking and camping with the horses and the mountains...wow The peace and tranquility of the location is wonderful. Thank You each of you for helping us in making our stay memorable

Shuja and his family are very kind, I feel like they are considered their own family. Mrs Mustaq's cooking always makes us happy to enjoy the food there. a clean place adds to our comfort. really like at home. the itinerary offered to us never disappoints.

thanks mohammed and family for nice hospitality, the place was value for money, and have great quite surrounding. meals was delicious, and car rental is also at reasonable price, his brother mustak took us to cool places as we are expected. thank you very much!

Would love to recommend to anyone for a lovely stay. A very humble person and very generous. He will give his best shot to make your trip memorable enough to cherish for a lifetime!! Thanks Mohammed!

Amazing stay in quiet place, nice escape from daily crazy work. Host was very nice, take us around to see the snow. We went to yusmarg and had heavy snowfall in march which he said we're very lucky. We are lucky indeed, after we came the Internet open. The heavy snowfall in yusmarg, got cheap horse riding in pahalgam, and delicious food by host (additional charge but worth it). Located in heart of srinagar. Near by dal lake walking distance.

Great experience, very nice option for homestay. Property - Gives very traditional kashmiri home kind of feeling, with all amenities. Excellent view, great lawn in front. Hosts - Great, warm and welcoming people. Kudos to Shuja (maharaj shuja mal ;) ) Food - limited options but nice home cooked food.. Location - Nice country location with great views..

We felt very well at the Dal lake. The room is spacious and comfortable, the bathroom had good water pressure and was great for showering. Breakfast and dinner we found really good, the Kehwa tea was just amazing. Suja and his family are very nice and the trip to Yousmark is unforgettable. We can highly recommend the accommodation.

A kindred enthusiastic soul who goes out of his way to provide the extra touch and tips. We had sone awesome Kashmiri tea

You can't get better place than this at this price. The advice Sauja gives will save your money and efforts. I and my friends joined him for the 2nd time and both times the stay was amazing. Garden in the premises, the view of cloudy mountains are breathtaking. Standard Amenities are available. Home made Food is amazing. I didn't have to worry about anything. One more thing i would like to add, kashmir is the safest and the most beautiful place i have ever visited... So just leave every worry behind and visit kashmir and specially Sauja's place for amazing hospitality. In love with kashmir.❤️❤️

Second time staying; well located, prompt and friendly owners and clean house. Strongly recommend.

Very communicative and helpful

Wonderful place to stay in a very safe location. Amazing Flowers and fruit in the garden. Get a feel of farm stay in centre of the city.

My stay in Srinagar was made exceptionally wonderful by the robust conversation and local knowledge shared with me by Vijay. I can’t wait to visit again.

Nazir uncle is a gem of a person. He made us feel like home, served us awesome dinner and definitely made the best kahwa in Kashmir. Also organised the trip for us with full guidance of do's and don't 's. Would definitely visit and stay again at his place.

Living in Houseboat in the middle of the lake was definitely a very enjoyable experience. Nazeer and his family were so friendly and welcomed me during my stay. In the winter the lake is quiet and peaceful with lots of stunning scenes. Since Nazeer is a tour guide himself he provided tours with reasonable price. The room was cozy and I was very comfortable in it. The bedroom has a heater so I had no problem with the cold weather. If you’re looking for a relaxing visit I totally recommend staying in this property as you’d have a glimpse of the Kashmiri lifestyle.

Hope to be back soon at Kenya Houseboat , one of the most friendly place in Srinagar

We had a wonderful time over there. They hosted us like a family. Amazing food and great hospitality is something that you will cherish for lifetime. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Srinagar

Nazir ji. Thank you so much for making my stay so comfortable. I would recommend Nazir ji houseboat value for money. Food was very good, and you an amazing host . Thank you so much

It was great staying at Nazir’s, the family was very nice and staying in a houseboat was such a great experience with a beautiful view on the lake and shikara rides! Nazir arranged my airport pickups and tours during my stay and the homemade food was great! Thanks for hosting me and would definitely recommend it..

Very cost effective, neat and clean facility. Convenient and a home like feel. This houseboat shows you how locals live in houseboat at Dal Lake.

Nazir is an exceptional host and the Kenya houseboat was a treat to stay in. We felt at home the minute we took the shikara to the houseboat. Nazir is also an extremely capable driver in the challenging traffic/terrain conditions in and around Srinagar. Lastly, he is an exceptional cook... even 4 and 5-star places that we stayed in could not hold a candle to his wonderful kahwa and mouth-watering curries. I would recommend this houseboat and its wonderful hosts to anyone visiting Srinagar.

Absolutely incredible experience! If you're reading this review, then please book the Captain's spot asap! The hospitality from the Captain and his crew was world-class. The boat is a beautiful space on a serene part of the lake. And Srinigar is a great safe city that you cannot miss. My friend and I had the time of our lives at this boat -- don't miss out!

I would give more than 5 stars if possible. There is no such things which we haven't enjoyed their hospitality. It's more about memories we created rather than money we spent. Totally worth it. Recommended to everyone, everytime.

Great place to unwind.

Captain Hameed is really a nice person so cooperative and helpfull whenever I would visit again Kashmir I would like to have him again my host every time nice place which every one should visit

A lovely place with beautiful and intricate interiors. A very good place and hospitality.

Captain's boat house is an amazing experience. If you're planning to stay in a houseboat in Srinagar, this is a great and reasonable option. Nasir, the attendant is also very responsive and always available. We came back from dinner late at night around midnight, but he was there waiting for us, to ensure our safety. Food was also delicious with some local cuisine. Overall a superb experience.

Wonderful location, a stylish decor and an awesome sense of comfort. This is where you should stay.

The boathouse is amazing. Very comfortable and clean! Went there went it was cold but they have electric blanket to keep us warm through the night. And it’s quite hard to get ard on your own in kashmir so captain Hameed arrange for us tours and driver. Nisar who takes care of the boat house is really kind and nice. He took great care of us during our stay there.

Nice, comfy, and cozy place in the heart of Srinagar.

Nice place to stay, connectivity of the local side seen is very good and most importantly the place is very peaceful. If you travel with family or friends then it's the right place to stay. They also suggest me the right places to visit in Kashmir and provide me the taxi on my demand on very reasonable price . I booked the hotel for one day only but when my plan changed I preferred to stay in this same hotel rather than going for another option (I checked out from the hotel and after visiting gulmarg I returned to the same hotel), Thanks Zubair Bhai. I'll prefer this property to stay again if I visit Srinagar.

I stayed here for 3 nights and wouldn't recommend any other place but this if you are traveling to Srinagar. Although I was traveling solo, I saw many guests who were with families. If you traveling with family (even with kids) or group of friends, this is a very ideal stay option. There is a huge and extremely well maintenance lawn to hang around or have a peaceful breakfast at. The room is huge completely carpeted, the bathroom has a bathtub and geyser for 24/7 hot water. All the staff members were very cordial and quick to respond. Special thanks to Yousuf ji, property manager, for being very helpful. He helped me arrange a cab to get around and also accomodated my request for an extended one night stay. This place is at a walkable distance to Zero Bridge and Lal Chowk if you don't mind waking 1-2 kms. The neighborhood is very safe and you can easily get autos to get around from here. Will definitely stay here again!

Great value for money. Offered heater bed which is great for winter .comfortable and very spacious room with great hospitality . They do carry luggage for us during check in and check out .

Nice place at very economical price.

Pure and genuine hospitality.

The house is centrally located..Has a nice garden area where you can sit and chill.. The rooms are really spacious and airy .. Yousuf Bhai..the Manager of the hotel was amazingly helpful and really sweet.. Next time I will stay with them itself..

Went back again because I loved the place so much the first time! Highly recommend it for a central location, quiet, budget friendly stay in Srinagar.

I had a great stay in Srinagar. The room was comfortable and spacious, and everyone in the family was lovely -- kind, friendly and helpful. Tariq went out of his way to show me around and make me feel comfortable. Definitely recommend staying here!

I stayed 2nd time after coming from pahalgaon. The hospitality is great. The best thing is you don't have to worry about food at Sauja's place, best home made food 👌. He goes beyond his limits to make the guests comfortable. 24 hours hot water, light facilities and assistance. The place has a garden outside which is so beautiful also the views of cloudy mountains. Will love to come again. 👍👍⛰️☁️❤️ In love with kashmir.

The place is very spacious and clean. It's value for money

It was a great experience staying with the host. The host has been very humble and polite. He made complete arrangements for our tour with respect to stay and travel in and around Srinagar. The host has lots of contacts which was really helpful and saved lots of time and effort for us. He has always been just a call away for any help. Thanks to shuja for a wonderful and memorable trip. Would love to come back and stay with him.

Shuja kept constantly communicating about the ground situation in Kashmir and truly enough it was safe to travel. He received us at the airport and made sure we were comfortable at his place. His brothers' family prepared delicious food, while Shuja and his trustworthy driver showed us around Srinagar. They also helped in shopping. We were safely dropped off to our next destination. We would love to stay with Shuja on our next trip to Srinagar and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to our friends

Nice i love it. Shuja is the best host for solo travel and group he is good service and kind person And his english very good . He also help me and try to approve everyrhing then i feel free and comfortable like home . Good location near to Nishat garden and lake and market . Nice view i love there so much . If u come to Kashmir Srinagar and u find some place to Stay like home like friend and any help i advice u to here with Shuja 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

A great place with a homely atmosphere and vibe. A wonderful host who makes you very comfortable.

We had an amazing time in Cottage Nigeen. Such great hospitality, food, and what an amazing house and garden. We were so impressed by the cleanliness and the spic and span garden! The boys took care of us really well and overall we had a wonderful and pleasant stay in cottage Nigeen. Definitely recommend it and coming back for sure!

Nigeen Cottage is the best place to stay in Srinagar to feel at home and comfortable at the same time. I have visited Nigeen Cottage five times and have had a truly authentic Kashmiri experience. The cottage is located in a good central location close to Hazratbal, the University of Kashmir and Dal Lake. It is also right next to Nigeen Lake. One can hail an auto by just walking 5-7 minutes outside the residential area. Staying at their home really feels like staying at a friend's house. The house interiors and their hospitality showcases Kashmiri culture. But what's best is the very interesting conversations one can have with the couple. They also give good references of where to visit in Srinagar and the rest of Kashmir as well. The thoughtfully planned food is some of the best Kashmiri food I have had in Srinagar — be it Kashmiri haak, phirni, lotus stems or Kashmiri pulao. There are good options for vegetarians and non vegetarians both. I cannot truly recount the multiple ways in which I have enjoyed every nook and corner of their house. I spent the spring and autumn months in the lovely garden reading and listening to the birds among the pine trees. The living room is a cozy space with beautiful and elegant items that they have collected over the years. The bedrooms also offer pretty views of the garden. There is also a collection of books in the upstairs living room where one can sit and relax. Shakila and Riyaz are always there to help you with anything that you might need and make you feel safe and at home. Truly a warm home and experience!

Very charming place and host is very helpful! thanks Shakila

Shakila Ji and Riyaz Sahab are great host. There place is as described and does full justice to your stay in Srinagar. If you are looking for a local homely experience, then this is the best place for you. We loved our room, and the sumptuous breakfast prepared by them every morning. they have several rooms and can host a big group as well in the same house. Very near to the maid roads where you can get public transport easily. close to University of Kashmir and you can also find some local bakeries and restaurants nearby. easily accessible via Google maps and not far from the Dal Lake. Shakila Ji also helps you in preparing an itinerary for your stay depending upon your choices of sightseeing. You can also ask her for places for souvenir shopping. beautiful home made with love in so many years and beautiful people inside out. I am definitely going to stay at their place whenever I visit Srinagar again. Love, Aman and Sonal.

The Nigeen Cottage is a beautiful house set among lush gardens with apple, pomegranate, and other local fruit trees. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it brings a comforting respite from the bustle of Srinagar, or after arriving from a dizzying road trip. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with gorgeous deodar wood paneling on the walls, silk carpet, and other small details and decoration which, along with the views outside the windows, made us feel like we really arrived in heaven - Kashmir! We had our dinners there as well, which was yet another amazing experience, as each night we got to try different typical dishes (veg and non-veg options) and the flavours were spectacular. Shakila, our host, was ever so helpful and welcoming; an example of Kashmiri hospitality. She addressed all our questions, needs, and we also had great conversation! Fully recommended stay in Srinagar!

I went to Cottage Nigeen after a week-long trek and it felt like I was returning home. Shakilaji welcomed me with a hot dinner that I shared with her family. She was all I looked for in a host - warm, caring, helpful and friendly. The house is very tastefully decorated and offers a mix of hotel-style luxury and privacy, but with the comfort of being at home with family. It is in a quiet neighbourhood overlooking Nigeen Lake. It is easy to locate and a short walk away from the main road, public transport and shops. My husband and I had the privilege of enjoying home-cooked Kashmiri meals made with the freshest fruits and vegetables from the garden. Both Shakilaji and Riyazji are very knowledgable about the history, culture, art and politics of the region and we had some wonderful conversations in the garden over tea. They also gave us some fantastic suggestions for places to visit and things to eat and buy. We made quite a few last-minute requests for meals and transport that they willingly helped arrange. Overall, one of the finest AirBnB experiences we've had! We will surely be returning soon.

Very quite Place hardly 150 meters away from Nigeen lake,very well maintained garden where you can find almost all varieties of trees and flowers. Well maintained and decorated house.The whole property is open for the guests.Mrs Shakilaji and Mr Riazsaab take your care and gives you valuable information about Kashmir and culture . We enjoyed the stay and food at this place .Anybody interested in Kashmiri traditional house stay must visit this place I promise you will b not disappointed.

Mr Nazir was really nice and very helpful to us. We are really enjoyed the trip and feeling gratefull for the kind treatment from him and all his family members (mamaji, bisma, sana and shahid). Especially his wife who prepared our breakfast, lunch and dinner during our stay at the houseboat (the food was really delicious and superb). Eventhough it's winter time and having some electricity problem, we still feel warm at night because of the air heater and bed heater. And we also got hot water for shower. The tour package around kashmir by Mr Nazir also really affordable and value for money (he also give us advice how to deal and bargain at every tourist spot). We are really satisfied with Mr Nazir services. He also help us to get great price for kashmiri products and souvenier. We are treated like family by Mr Nazir, so we all feel like we are at our home. If you want to stay at Dal lake, Kenya Houseboat is the best choices.

Nazir took great care of me when I came to Srinagar as a solo woman traveler. His family is welcoming and his place is casual and cozy, not fancy and formal. He will plan wonderful adventures for you if you let him. He is passionate about the lake community and about the “old” Kashmir - traditional handicrafts, building methods, and ways of life. He won’t take you to cheap rip-off markets but will show you the people and places where real craftsmanship is the priority. A wonderful man and a lovely place to stay.

This is as homely as you can get in Kashmir. Amazing hospitality, great food, great local tips and guidance.

Nazir Bhai is a wonderful host, he is the go to person for anything you will need in and around Srinagar, his houseboat is very well maintained, he'll go an extra mile to help you in any which way.

It was an amazing stay. Loved every bit of it. Nazir Bhai was an amazing host. He knows a lot of people around and also helped me with a lot of local tips. He was always there when I wanted. Because of him I was able to travel solo for a lot of places in and around Kashmir. I will truly recommend this place and would also come back to this place every time I visit Kashmir

Nazir ji's authenticity and warmth made me and my 12 year old son feel at home almost instantly. It has been a simple yet extraordinary stay. Couldn't have had a better start to our adventures in Kashmir. My son will remember this as the quintessential kashmiri hospitality. Thank you Nazir ji!!

The stay at Houseboat Kenya was like a homely experience with home cooked food and warm hospitality of Mr. Nazir. He helped in getting us a shikara ride at good prices. Dinner was home cooked food which was amazing. Highly recommended for stay in Dal .

Nazir and his family are wonderful people and offered a perfect start for our Ladakh trip. We had an incredible time driving around Srinagar with Nazir and to top it all off, we got to have the most magnificent boat rides! Highly recommend staying here.

I am a great Airbnb traveler all over the world and I think this home and they owners are the perfect match of u research taste elegance and hospitality !!! Simply Woow amazing ! Shukran !

Very lovely homestay. Shakila Aunty and Riyaz Uncle took care of us as if we are their kids. We also met their eldest daughter and son in law, both are very friendly. Ashique became our younger by end of our stay and he did make our stay very special at the cottage Nigeen. The Cottage Nigeen is one of the safest place in entire Srinagar. We stayed during Mid February 2019, it was cold outside at night. But electric blanket and heater at room gave us pleasant temperature. There are lots of birds at cottage Nigeen and is paradise for bird watchers and photographers. The location is walkable distance from NIT, Srinagar. We already started missing Nigeen cottage. Looking forward for staying at Mohith and Sneha from Kerala.

Staying at The Nigeen Cottage has been one of our best travel experiences. We love living with locals, learning about their lives, tasting the cuisine of the land and the Nigeen Cottage experience helped us achieve just that. Shakila ji (the enterprising lady who runs this B&B), Riyaz ji (her husband who is full of knowledge and interesting conversations), and their house staff have been amazing hosts. We were treated with warmth, respect, and a lot of politeness. Their house is built with attention to detail. It's got vintage and cosy wooden interiors. You can expect amenities like breakfast served in guest area, buzzer for calling staff up to your room (like room service calls), tidy room+bedding+linens, clean washrooms, etc. Shakila ji even helped us with planning itineraries, special info about best places to eat, shop, etc. We even went with their empanelled Taxi service, which was a good decision as we didn't have to search elsewhere, and we got very good service owing to her reference. If you are authentic travelers who care more about experience, crave for genuine conversations, authentic home food, and prefer living with with locals irrespective of the centrality of location - go ahead and book with The Nigeen Cottage. You'll not be disappointed.

The trip was made gr8 by my host Nowsheena even though the climate was very extreme for us. She assisted in all ways possible to make the trip a pleasant one. We celebrated our kid's birthday and she and her family made wonderful deco n arranged for an awesomatic cake.. which was beyond words. So happy that I booked this house. The caretaker Artaf was more than helpful and very kind to every request. If you want to enjoy a peaceful relaxed time in Srinagar then this is the place. Waiting to book again during the summer.

A great place to spend the leisure time in Srinagar. The place is very stylish with all the amenities one would need. Full fledged kitchen is available at an extra charge. Local market is nearby. All in all a very good place to stay with nice views. The host Nausheen was very helpful and available on phone anytime. Managed our entire stay very smoothly. Despite of a marriage in her family, Nausheen took time to talk to us and visited us during the same time to see the arrangements. Very professional and caring attitude. Would love to stay again there very soon.

This place is surrounded by greenery, running fountain and amazing view of dal lake from the drawing room. The place gives you an experience of living in an 19th century home drawing inspiration from British and Mughal arts. It is bit far from centre of the city which kind of help you get around the fact how much the city is under security. Nauseen ma'am helped us plan our whole Ladhak trip (Srinagar was our starting point). Her grace and hospitality is just as beautiful as the valley of kashmir is.

Very good property if you want to stay away from crowded srinagar hotels. Very good hospitality from Nausheen.

Great location, everything you need for a stay. Would definitely stay here again!

The house is big and fully furnished and has all the utensils in kitchen. It is located at a beautiful place where you get awesome view all around. The host, Nowsheen is a very sweet person and she took very good care of us throughout our stay. She had ensured that the house was neat and tidy before we checked in and had also arranged cab with a good driver for the entire duration of our stay in Kashmir. If you are planning to stay in Kashmir, you can book this house without a second thought.

Shangri La is a beautiful cottage located in the suburbs of Srinagar on the periphery of Dachigam National Park. This rural retreat would be a perfect stay for you if you’re looking for peace and tranquility in idyllic setting. It’s also not very far way from the city. It takes about 20 minutes to reach Srinagar by car. Cooked food is available about a kilometer away. There’s also a market nearby (half a kilometer away) from where you can buy basic food items like milk, bakery items, meat, rice etc. The kitchen can be accessed on a nominal fee. It is equipped with cooking range, fridge, geyser and crockery. The caretaker Rafiq, and his wife were quite helpful. They used to check up on us every day and provided us with anything that we needed. The manager Nausheen did an excellent job. She tried her best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. She also helped me celebrate my parents’ wedding anniversary by getting a cake and balloons for decoration. She also provided us the contact number of Mr. Akbar, the private taxi operator who made our stay at Shangri La free from any worries of connectivity with his excellent services. We had a wonderful time at Shangri La and we plan to come here again.

That was such a lovely cottage I must say. They have these three big bedrooms. One on the ground and two on the first floor. The house is spacious and beds are wide enough for three people to sleep. Though, its a bit far from the city (20 min) but it's totally worth it. I would really recommend to stay at this place once and will surely come again thanks for hosting.. If you just wanna lay down and have a view of the city from your house, then it's a place. You can even cook your own food. They have all the kitchen utensils one needs to cook.

Wow What an Amazing Trip it Was even The network was not working but you really did the best arrangements bruh thanks alot I appreciate Your Work And Amazing Boat house a must visit place it was amazing Food Everything Was Super Awesome 👌 im gonna definitely come back again soon with my friends this time i Appreciate Your Work Your Momma And bilal Bhai Amazing people Just like Family yall must check out this place forsure with blind trust

Nestled amidst picturesque locales, The-nigeen-cottage exemplifies peace and serenity. A Kashmiri family in letter and spirit, the hosts embody the Kashmiri traditions of warm hospitality and instant endearment. If the objective is to be amongst people signifying Kashmiriyat and its traditions, a stay at the the-nigeen-cottage is a must. Dining-table discussions centred around political, social and economic dynamics of the region helped to make the stay even more interesting. Overall, a stay worth repeating. I wish Shakila a long life and tremendous success ahead. Cheers
